I HATE TIRES! I wish they would make a 12ply razr3 and leave it at that! Indestructable tires! I have a plug in ALL four of my tires within about 2 months! Razrs on back and stock up front... I HATE TIRES!!!!!!

Just run wheels. Less weight, no plugging, and I hear the traction is unbelievable.

Pure sports Bandit XC tires. They are kevlar belted.

yea i have bandits on my bike and i have never ever had a hole problem. once and a while they will blow off the bead but i think thats because they have been on 3 different rims and ive changed them. i think the bead is damaged

Its the new Michelin Tweel. Its a tire that does not require air.

they look like junk to me, seems like it would either A) not be strong enough for an accidental pothole or B) be too stiff and not haev a good ride at all

Michelin Tweel Press Release (http://www.michelinman.com/difference/releases/pressrelease01102005a.html)

just a prototype for now.... seems like a good idea though :macho

if you have 4 ply rears and stock fronts then that makes sense. put some 6 ply holeshots or razr's on there and you wont have that problem as often:devil:

i would say tireballs are your best bet (pretty pricey though). otherwise a 6 ply tire or the kevlar bandits are in order.

about that "tweel", it looks like it would be hard to stop with those. imagine slamming on the brakes, it would fold over...

speaking of which, someone should make some ATV tires that dont use air, kinda like those skid loader tires that have the holes through them.... if anyone wants to use this idea thats fine, but i get some royalties from it.

I heard that the tweels make a loud humming noise when you get up to like 40mph+
